Map Tribunal Review Deadlines L0cka

Map Tribunal Review Deadlines

Map candidate review deadlines from the tribunal computation-rule tables and compute only through the bundled script. The enabling enactment frequently fixes its own period — the general tribunal layer is a candidate, never a conclusion.

Read the source and control method, use an approved profile per the deadline profile schema, and run compute_deadline.py against the computation-rule tables.

Workflow

1. Fix the decision and the inputs.
   • Record the decision, the decision-maker, the tribunal, and the lawyer-supplied notification date as an assumption. A contested or unknown notification date is NOT READY.
2. Locate every candidate period.
   • Take the general tribunal-layer candidate from the tribunal's table (art, ncat, qcat), and flag that the Act conferring the decision may fix a different period (for QCAT, s 6(7) of the QCAT Act says so expressly). Verify the conferring Act through $check-commonwealth-legislation or the applicable state checker.
   • For VCAT no general default period exists — the enabling enactment always fixes the period (see the vcat table note); identify the conferring provision and route its verification before any candidate is stated.
   • For tribunals without a table, produce identify-only output naming the enabling Act.
3. Compute through the script only.
   • Run the script per candidate. Report computed and identify_only results faithfully, with every warning.
   • For any migration matter, always include the warning that migration time limits are non-extendable or jurisdictional and have changed repeatedly, and flag specialist review before reliance. Never conclude that a migration period has expired or that an extension is available.
4. Set the human decision gate.
   • Name the confirmer who must confirm each candidate, resolve the conferring-Act period and enter dates in the diary system of record.

Fail closed

Return NOT READY when the decision, tribunal or notification date cannot be established. Never compute around a script refusal, never conclude a period has expired or been extended, never omit the migration warning from a migration matter, and route criminal matters OUTSIDE SCOPE.

Other plugins

This skill names skills from other Legal Skills plugins. Install a required plugin alongside this one; install a hand-off plugin when the matter needs that depth.

• australian-legal-research (required): check-commonwealth-legislation. Verifies the Commonwealth and state legislation behind limitation periods and deadline rules.

If a named skill is not available in this session, say so and name the plugin to install. Treat the step it would have performed as not done: record the affected proposition as not verified, or the hand-off as not made. Never perform that step from memory or substitute a different skill.
